Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold May Play Against Liverpool in Upcoming Champions League Match
The Spanish giants signed Trent Alexander-Arnold on a six-year agreement
Trent Alexander-Arnold's rehabilitation is advancing well, giving hope that the Madrid right-back might be fit soon enough to play against his old team Liverpool in the upcoming European encounter.
The English international sustained a hamstring problem while playing against French side Marseille in the group stage of the tournament on 16 September.
Alexander-Arnold had to leave the field in the early stages, with early indications pointing to a possible layoff of around a month and a half.
Real Madrid are set to visit Liverpool on November 4 for the European match—precisely over a month since the incident happened.
Reports close to the situation suggest that the defender's recovery is progressing well, and there is optimism that Alexander-Arnold might make his first return to Liverpool's stadium after joining Real Madrid in the summer.
A devoted Liverpool fan, Alexander-Arnold earlier said that leaving the club he joined as a six-year-old youth player was the "hardest choice he's ever taken."
During his time with the Reds, Alexander-Arnold made over 350 appearances, helping win two English top-flight championships, a Champions League, and the FA Cup.
After moving to the Spanish capital, Alexander-Arnold has played five times across all competitions, totaling over two and a half hours of game time.
